To Counterfeit the Second Coming of Christ & the
Restoration of All Things

SOCIETY

N.B. Each topic is titled
with a familiar Bible term. The parenthesis ( ) which follows identifies
either the actual or a counterfeit fulfillment of prophecy through
the agency of the secret societies. Please see Introduction
for protocols of this prophecy study.

The early Church Fathers taught that there
would be a literal Millennial reign of Jesus Christ on earth.

"For in as many days as this world was made, in so many
thousand years shall it be concluded. And for this reason the Scripture says:
'Thus the heaven and the earth were finished, and all their adornment. And God
brought to a conclusion upon the sixth day the works that He had made; and God
rested upon the seventh day from all His works.' This is an account of
the things formerly created, as also it is a prophecy of what is to come. For
the day of the Lord is as a thousand years; and in six days created things
were completed: it is evident, therefore, that they will come to an end at the
sixth thousand year...

"Those nations however, who did not of themselves raise
up their eyes unto heaven, nor returned thanks to their Maker, nor wished to
behold the light of truth, but who were like blind mice concealed in the
depths of ignorance, the word justly reckons 'as waste water from a sink, and
as the turning-weight of a balance--in fact, as nothing;') so far useful and
serviceable to the just, as stubble conduces towards the growth of the wheat,
and its straw, by means of combustion, serves for working gold. And therefore,
when in the end the Church shall be suddenly caught up from this, it is said,
'There shall be tribulation such as has not been since the beginning, neither
shall be.' For this is the last contest of the righteous, in which, when they
overcome they are crowned with incorruption...

"But when this Antichrist shall have devastated all
things in this world, he will reign for three years and six months, and sit in
the temple at Jerusalem; and then the Lord will come from heaven in the
clouds, in the glory of the Father, sending this man and those who follow him
into the lake of fire; but bringing in for the righteous the times of the
kingdom, that is, the rest, the hallowed seventh day; and restoring to Abraham
the promised inheritance, in which kingdom the Lord declared, that 'many
coming from the east and from the west should sit down with Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob.'" (Irenaeus) - 341

THE MILLENNIUM
(beginning)

Satan will be bound while the resurrected
saints reign with Christ for 1,000 years.

And I saw an angel come down
from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his
hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil,
and Satan, and bound him a thousand years... - Rev.20:1,2

Blessed and holy is he
that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no
power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with
him a thousand years. - Rev. 20:6

And He shall send Jesus
Christ...whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all
things... - Acts 3:20-21

Until the Ancient of days came,
and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that
the saints possessed the kingdom. - Dan. 7:22

PROGRAM OF
SATAN

PRE-FLOOD ERA

Gnostics refer to the pre-Flood era as the
Golden Age because the world worshipped the Sun.

"Wm. Robertson Smith...sums up about the
Greeks and Egyptians when he writes: 'in their legends of the Golden Age it
was told how in the earliest and happiest days of the race, when man was at
peace with the gods and with nature, and the hard struggle of daily toil had
not begun, animal food was unknown, and all man's wants were supplied by the
spontaneous produce of the bounteous earth." - 376:132

"In alchemy the sun is associated
with glittering gold ('the earth's sun, the king of metals')..." -
100:330

OLD TESTAMENT PERIOD

The ancient Egyptians attempted, and the
Greeks and Romans anticipated, a return to the Golden Age.

"The ancient world civilisation of Atlantis
gradually degenerated and perished in a series of cataclysms that destroyed
large portions of their inhabited landmasses; but, throughout this period of
disintegration of a once glorious civilisation, and afterwards, when the new
races of humanity grew up in other portions of the globe, the sages held the
dream and gradually prepared themselves and those who would listen to them for
the restoral of a universal Golden Age of peace and concord.

"One of the earlier civilisations to arise from the
ashes of Atlantis, although not on such a large scale, and which seriously
attempted to create a Golden Age for itself, was that of Ancient Egypt. Guided
by great sages and an enormous body of proven traditional knowledge concerning
the laws of nature and divinity,
pharaonic Egypt achieved a special level of civilisation and illumination
that is a shining example to us today. From the Egyptian sages the Greek poets
and philosophers learnt the best of their wisdom..." - 889:15

"What the Greeks called the Kronia, celebrating the
fortunate era of Kronos, the Latins termed the Saturnalia, a symbolic renewal
of the reign of...Saturn.
Kronos is the Greek name of the same planet...

"The Latin poet Ovid knew the tradition [of Saturn,
king of Italy] well: 'The first millennium was the age of gold...' But then,
states Ovid, 'old Saturn fell to Death's dark country.' There is not a race on
earth that forgot this cataclysmic event -- the death of Saturn, Universal
Monarch; or the fall of Adam, the Heaven Man. And peoples the world over, for
thousands of years, awaited the full return of Time's wheel, when Saturn's
kingdom would appear again to rescue the world from a decadent age of Iron
(the present age, marking the lowest of the descending ages after the Golden
Age). The powerful memory of Saturn's Age gave rise to a prophesied return, as
announced in the famous lines of Virgil: 'Now is come the last age of the
Cumean prophecy: the great cycle of periods is born anew. Now returns the
Maid, returns the reign of Saturn: Now from high heaven descends a new
generation. And O holy goddess of childbirth Lucina, thou be gracious at the
boy's birth in whom the Iron race shall begin to cease and the Golden to arise
all over the world...'

"That Saturn governed the Golden
Age is a supreme tenet of the ancient mysteries.
This is why the most sacred day of the week, commemorating the primordial era,
was dedicated to Saturn. The Hebrew Sabbath, the seventh day of the week, was
the day of Saturn, as was the seventh day of the Babylonian and Phoenician
weeks. For the Romans, the special day was Saturnai Dies, 'Saturn's Day'. This
was the Anglo-Saxon 'Day of Seater' [Saturn], which...became our Saturday." -
93:30-32

"...a certain Chaldean astrological teaching according to
which each of the planets reigned for the space of a thousand years, so that the
antique world found itself under the domination of Zeus, who had just supplanted
the first of the planets, Kronos...

"...In the last of the books of The Pistis-Sophia,
and also in one of our Coptic Hermetic writings - No. 25...the heavenly bodies
were distributed along seven aiones - one may say, seven cycles - in such
as way that each of these had to reign, in its turn, for one millennium. This
theory was sufficiently widely diffused to appear in a number of Greek and Latin
authors; to be found also in Bardesanes and still more, among the Mandeans. And
it is this system which explains [in]...the Hypostatus of the Archons and
the treatise No. 40 - the theme of the replacement of Ialdabaoth-Kronos by
Sabaoth-Zeus." - 230:260-1,271

CHURCH AGE

Gnostics have long planned for a revival of paganism in
another Golden Age.

"[Peter] Dawkins asserts that the Golden Age,
ruled over by Pan and Arcadia, is synonymous with Rosicrucian enlightenment,
also thought to be 'Age of Aquarius.'" - 335

"In 1776, four men were
given the job to design a seal that expressed the meaning and destiny of the
new nation: Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Pierre Eugene
DuSimitiere. The Great Seal is thus a record of the visionary origins of
America. "On the reverse side is mandala containing a
broken pyramid with a radiant eye enclosed in a triangle. The triangle points
back to the evolutionary trinity of Joachim's philosophy of history. They
pyramid points back to the Egyptian dawn of civilization. It is, however, an
unfinished pyramid, as the work of civilization is unfinished. America's
mission is to finish the pyramid, suggests [Robert] Hieronimos (in
America's Secret Destiny). - 308:130

The occult societies are facilitating
mankind's return to the Golden Age.

"...the three main channels through which the
preparation for the new age is going on might be regarded as the Church, the
Masonic Fraternity and the educational field..." (Alice Bailey) - 1

"The political aspirations of
Freemasonry...can be traced back to the myth of the Golden Age and predynastic
Egypt during the reign of Osiris and Isis and, before the flood, to the
Babylonian and Hebrew myths of creation " - 25:16

"[Queen of Sweden] Christina's [Acadian]
Academy supported as its symbol the 7-reeded pipe
of Pan (God of the Golden Age). Members called themselves 'shepherds' and
aimed to bring about a golden age and return to a simpler way of life." - 335

"A duty to maintain the unity of Druidic
activity and an obligation...to...further the cultivation of the noblest and
best in man and thus work for the restoration of the Golden Age." - 377

Apostates of the Reformed Movement deny
the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ and misrepresent it as a Gnostic
doctrine.

"In this future Golden Age idea, or the making
of the 'kingdom of heaven on earth' (as it is sometimes called), one can see
an incipient idea of the New Age Movement which arose in the twentieth century
through the theosophist Alice B. Bailey... In fact, the entire concept of a
future Golden Age or 'brotherhood of peace on earth' is a peculiarly Gnostic
and occultic doctrine, rooting the eschatological fulfillment of history
within the bounds of present earth history, before the cosmos has been
renewed, transformed and purified into the New Heavens and the New Earth (Rev.
21:1-5). Cerenthus, one of the most infamous of the ancient Gnostics, actually
devised an entire eschatological system which had Christ returning to earth
and reigning with His people in Israel for a thousand years. Setting-up the
kingdom of God on earth is actually a key Neo-Gnostic concept, which has
its wellspring in the Rosicrucian influences of the seventeenth century." (Alan Morrison, The Serpent & The Cross) - 503:82

In reality Reformed eschatology is Gnostic doctrine.

"Inasmuch, therefore, as the opinions of certain
[orthodox persons] are derived from heretical discourses, they are both
ignorant of God's dispensations, and of the mystery of the resurrection
of the just, and of the [earthly] kingdom which is the commencement of
incorruption, by means of which kingdom those who shall be worthy are accustomed
gradually to partake of the divine nature (capere Deum ); and it is
necessary to tell them respecting those things, that it behoves the righteous
first to receive the promise of the inheritance which God promised to the
fathers, and to reign in it, when they rise again to behold God in this creation
which is renovated, and that the judgment should take place afterwards."
(Irenaeus, Against Heresies, Book V.32.1)

The Reformed also teach that Satan is
bound and the Church Age is the Millennium.

"Although Satan still has enormous power amongst the
nations of the world, the exercise of that power has been forced to operate
within the confines of this Gospel Age. This is because something has been
restraining the ability of Satan to 'deceive the nations' (Rev. 20:3)
in the manner in which his unbridled lusts would have it--a matter which is
hardly surprising in view of the fact that 'all authority in heaven and on
earth' has been given to Jesus in the wake of the Cross (Mt. 28:18) after
which Satan was cast out from his usurped rulership of the world (Jn.
12:31)...

"This condition will prevail until the approach of the
close of the age, at which time Satan and his fellow demons will, in the
providence of God, be released for a little while' from their restraint
(Rev. 20:3,7-10), so as to galvanise the final manifestation of Antichrist
(2Th.2:3-12; I Jn2:18). This evil horde will capitalise on the well-prepared,
universal, religious movement (Rev.13:11ff.) and global political confederacy
(Rev.13:1-8); 17:12-18), so that the previously-restrained 'mystery of
lawlessness' can come to its fullness and ripeness for judgment
(Rev.18;20:7-10). In other words, once the testimony of the Church has been
completed and the full number of the elect has been saved, the 'rulers of
the darkness of this age', under their leader Satan, will be unleashed
from their restraint and permitted to achieve their ambition." (Ibid.) - 503:51-2

For two centuries heretics have taught that the Church Age will
transition into the Age of the Spirit.

"But at the time of ‘the end,’ the followers
of Valentinus believed they would join Achamoth, who would then ascend into
the Pleroma, the true Ogdoad or Eighth place.

‘When all the seed shall have come to
perfection, they state that then their mother Achamoth shall pass from the
intermediate place, and enter in within the Pleroma, and shall receive as
her spouse the Saviour… The spiritual seed, again, being divested of the
animal souls, and becoming intelligent spirits, shall in an irresistible and
invisible manner enter in within the Pleroma, and be bestowed as brides on
those angels who wait upon the Saviour. (1.7.1)'

"This eschatology assumes that the Valentinian
believer ascends directly to Achamoth in the intermediate place immediately
upon death. We know that when writing the last chapters of AH 5
Irenaeus was concerned with this false eschatology, which emphatically denied
the resurrection of the flesh and taught also the final and complete
annihilation of the material world, 14 for, he thought, it
was making some inroads among the orthodox." (Charles Evan Hill, From the
Lost Teachings of Polycarp, 77-78)

"The vernal (spring) equinox, the point where the Sun
passes from the south to north of the celestial equator moves very slowly from
one of the 12 sections of the Zodiac to another. During the church age that
point has been in the area of Pices. That point is now between Pisces and
Aquarius, giving rise to the New Age teaching that we are entering the Age of
Aquarius... This New Age teaching is just a resurgence of the ancient
Babylonian mysteries which will come to an end when Christ returns (See
Babylon in the Future.) If there is any real meaning to the gradually changing
position of the vernal equinox, it would be that the Age of the Church will
give way to the even more glorious age of The Holy Spirit, The Millennium and
New Beginnings." (Prophecy Central, Gospel in the Stars promo) - 850

TRIBULATION / FIRST 3.5 YEARS

The Golden Age will be ushered in by
monastics assisted by the occult societies and promoted under the guise of
Christianity.

"It will be through the Grail in England that
the energies of transformation and ascension will be channeled, which
eventually will bring the Earth into the Seventh Golden Age." - 45:37

" . . the general reformation of the world
announced in the Rosicrucian manifestos ... will bring the world back to the
state in which Adam found it, which was also Saturn's golden age ... This
return to the golden age of Adam and Saturn, is said to be assisted by the
high society of the Rosicrucians." - 46:57

" ... Christianity...has set before us the
final unity of human society...the membership of nations. The ideal is not of
our own making; it is, as Mazzini said, beyond us and supreme over us." - 139:283-4,
V.1 (B.F. Westcott, "The Glory of a Nation")

"Our whole culture is unquestioningly
understood to be Judeo-Christian, but what would it mean if we are right and
it should be, in fact, Egypto-Christian instead?" - 242:364

"Ushered in by monastics,
the Age of the Spirit would bring the conversion of the Jews and Gentiles,
union of the Greek and Roman churches, overthrow of Antichrist, and
inauguration of the Sabbath of God." - 234:539

GREAT TRIBULATION / GOLDEN AGE

False teachers equate the Aquarian Christ
with the Holy Spirit; they will proclaim the Aquarian/Atlantean Golden Age to
be the Age of the Holy Spirit.

The Gospel In The
Stars

"This fascinating theory is that God
used the clustering of stars that we call constellations as object lessons
about His future plans for salvation and other prophetic subjects. This
material is taken primarily from The Gospel In The Stars by Joseph A.
Seiss - originally published in 1882. It also draws from E.W. Bullinger's
The Witness of the Stars and a tape by Chuck Missler called 'The
Mazzaroth'...

"Aquarius, the Waterman, is a man with a large vase of
water which he is pouring out from the sky. This would be an apt portrayal the
giving of the Holy Spirit whose influence Jesus likened to streams of living
water (John 7:37-39)...

"If there is any real meaning to the gradually changing
position of the vernal equinox, it would be that the Age of the Church will
give way to the even more glorious age of The Holy Spirit, The Millennium and
New Beginnings...

"This theory is endorsed today by such
well known Bible teachers as Chuck Missler (Audio tape: 'The Mazzaroth') and Dr. James
Kennedy of the Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church (Message televised Jan. 7,
1996). It is also accepted by Dr. Henry M Morris in his book, The
Long War Against God (pp. 265-269). Dr. Morris, president of the Institute
for Creation Research.

"Note: This theory of a 'Gospel In The
Stars,' is accepted by many prophecy scholars, but rejected by others." - 684

"This [October] 1986 gathering [Vatican
Interfaith Conference], consisting of leaders of the world's major religions
and initiated by the pope himself, would represent a visible transition from
traditional 'ecumenism' to the new 'interfaithism'...

"Barbara Marx Hubbard viewed
December 31, 1986, as a 'Planetary Pentecost', where the participants would have the
powers of Christ to heal, resurrect the dead, and even transform their
physical bodies as Christ transformed his." - 233:208,115

"All Eastern and Western
traditions relate [Aquarius] to the symbolic flood which stands for the end of
a formal universe..." - 48:15

Standing in the way of the Gnostics'
anticipated Golden Age will be harsh realities about the human condition after
the Fall.

"...hard but realistic facts, in Malthus'
estimation, placed insurmountable difficulties in the way of the
perfectibility of society. No possible reform could remove the pressure of
natural laws, obstacles which prevent the 'existence of a society, all the
members of which, should live in ease, happiness, and comparative leisure; and
feel no anxiety about providing the means of subsistence for themselves and
families'." - 56:246

THE MILLENNIUM

And when the thousand years are
expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive
the nations... - Rev. 20:7,8

PERSONAL APPLICATION

Satan is an Amillennialist.

...because he knoweth that he
hath but a short time. - Rev. 12:12

And I saw an angel come down
from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his
hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil,
and Satan, and bound him a thousand years... - Rev.20:1,2

PREMISE

At the beginning of the Millennium, Jesus
Christ and his saints will be manifested as the Sons of God.

At the beginning of the Golden Age, when the
Antichrist sits in the Temple of God, claiming to be God, he will be
manifested as the son of perdition and his followers as the children of the
devil.

PROGRAM OF GOD

CHURCH
AGE

The sons of God, the true Church, will be
manifested to the world at the Rapture.

For the earnest expectation of
the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. Rom. 8:19

And to the angel of the church
in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he
that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and
shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee
an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and
hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. Behold, I will make them of
the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie;
behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that
I have loved thee. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will
keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to
try them that dwell upon the earth. - Rev. 3:7-10

And at midnight there was a cry
made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those
virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the
wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered,
saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye
rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy,
the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the
marriage: and the door was shut. - Matt. 25:6-10

GREAT
TRIBULATION (beginning)

The Tribulation saints will be manifest as
sons of God because they reject the Mark of the Beast.

And I saw thrones, and they sat
upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of
them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and
which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received
his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and
reigned with Christ a thousand years. - Rev. 20:4

GREAT
TRIBULATION (end)

The Bride of Christ will be manifested to
the world at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

Let us be glad and rejoice, and
give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath
made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine
linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints...
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him
was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and
make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were
many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And
he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called
The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon
white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. - Rev.
19:7-8,11-14

If ye then be risen with Christ,
seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of
God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye
are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our
life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. Col. 3:1-4

PROGRAM OF
SATAN

OLD TESTAMENT

King
Solomon's Temple was constructed by masons.

And David commanded to gather together the strangers
that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to
build the house of God. - I Chron. 22:2

CHURCH AGE

The program of the Synagogue of Satan is the destruction of
Christianity.

"It remains for the student to follow every
line of enquiry to the point of concentration for all threads are gathered
and systematically manipulated for the eventual destruction of Christian
civilization. It may lead to the B'nai B'rith, the
Universal Israelite
Alliance, India or Tibet, but in any case, a thorough and complete study of
Rosicrucianism embracing a minute one of Rosicruciana in Anglia and the its various branches
will be a great step...uncovering much of the political and moral chaos of
present day history of humanity." - 143:510

"Our Philosophy also is not a new invention,
but as Adam after the fall hath received it, and as Moses and Solomon used
it." (Fama Fraternatis or a Discovery of the Fraternity of the Most Noble
Order of the Rosy Cross) - 46:239

"The Arabs afterward gave
the name of 'Solomon's seal' to the six-pointed star-like figure (see
Magen, Dawid) engraved on the bottom of their drinking-cups. It is
related in the 'Arabian Nights' (ch. xx.) that Sindbad, in his seventh
voyage, presented Harun al-Rashid cup on which the 'table of Solomon'
was represented; and Lane thinks that this was the figure of 'Solomon's
seal'.... In Western legends, however, it is the pentacle, or 'druid's
foot,' that represents the seal. This figure, called by Bishop Kennet
the 'pentangle' of Solomon, was supposed to have the power of driving
away demons. Mephistopheles says to Faust that he is prevented from
entering the house by the druid's foot ('Drudenfuss'), or pentagram,
which guards the threshold ('Faust'...)..." (Jewish Encyclopedia)
- 259 ("Solomon, Seal of")

The Druid religion was proscribed during the 1st
century.

"The religion in which Druids functioned was
proscribed and exterminated in the Roman provinces of Gaul and Britain
during the 1st century A.D." - 378:719

Druids/Freemasons have infiltrated all
sectors of society and high level initiates hold top positions in its
institutions.

"Very definitely may the assurance be given
here that, prior to the coming of the Christ, adjustments will be made so
that at the head of all great organizations will be found either a Master,
or an initiate who has taken the third initiation.
At the head of certain of the great occult groups, of the Freemasons of the
world, and of the various great divisions of the church, and resident in
many of the great nations will be found initiates or Masters." (Alice
Bailey) - 164:61-2

The secret societies are organized and work in harmony
under the direction of the Prieuré de Sion.

"[Julius] Sperber was a Christian Initiate
with a vision sufficiently clear to comprehend that if the about to be born
Confederation, the Fraternitas, was to be a success and fulfill its
mission, all Initiates of every school would need to work in harmony, one with
the other." - 386:vii,viii,xxii

"...says Comenius...it is desirable that the
'agents of general happiness and welfare' should be many. They must be guided
by some order 'so that each of them may know what he has to do, and for whom
and when and with what assistance, and may set about his business in a manner
which will make for the public benefit.' There should be a College, or a
sacred society, devoted to the common welfare of mankind, and held together by
some laws and rules.'" - 46:179

"...Karl Kellner...initiated the plan now
happily complete of bringing all occult bodies again under one governance." -
143:573

"There are a great many secret societies in
operation, [Charles] Nodier declares. But there is one, he adds, that takes
precedence over all others, that in fact presides over all others. According
to Nodier this 'supreme' secret society is called the Philadelphes. At the
same time, however, he speaks of 'the oath which forbids me to make them known
under their social name.' Nevertheless there is a hint of [the Prieuré de]
Sion..." - 31:152

The origins of the Prieuré de Sion are
found in 1st century Alexandria, Egypt, where esoteric Christianity and
paganism were synthesized by the Synagogue of Satan.

"The foundation of the Priory can be traced
back allegedly to the gnostic
adept Ormus who lived in the first century C.E.... He formed a secret society
which united esoteric Christianity with the teachings of the pagan mystery
schools. Ormus adopted as his symbol across
surmounted by a roseto signify the synthesis of the new and old
religions. ...Ormus, the legendary first century founder of the secret society
which became the Priory of Sion lived in Alexandria." - 25:31,
142

"Ormus...[was] the name allegedly adopted by the
Prieuré de Sion between 1188 and 1307.

"One is intended to see in Ormus the origins of the
so-called Rose-Croix, or Rosicrucians. And in 1188 the Prieuré de Sion is said
to have adopted a second subtitle in addition to Ormus. It is said to have
called itself L'Ordre de la Rose-Croix Veritas..." - 31:185,123

"From the beginning the Prieuré de Sion has
been committed to Hermetic
magic (a type of black magic that originated with the ancient Egyptians
and is portrayed in the Egyptian Book of Dead)." - 77:79

The Society of Ormus consisted of the Therapeutae of
Alexandria and the Essenes of Qumran, who became the Prieuré de
Sion.

"Alexandrian Gnostics...were the spiritual heirs of the
Essenes
after Hadrian had suppressed the Order in 132 A.D." - 406:150

"According to Baron de
Westerode, the founder of the Rosicrucians was one Ormesius, who had been
converted by St. Mark, at Alexandria, in A.D. 46. He purified the Egyptian
Rites, and reconciled them with Christianity, carrying his disciples with him,
and founded the Society of
ORMUS, or of the Light, each member wearing a red
cross. To this society the Essenes and Therapeutae joined themselves, and
conserved the Masonic Secrets." - 636
(Part 3)

"Therapeutae. (Gr.) or
Therapeutes. A school of Esotericists, which was an inner group within
Alexandrian Judaism... They were 'healers' in the sense that some 'Christian'
and 'Mental' Scientists, members of the [Theosophical Society], are healers,
while they are at the same time good Theosophists and students of the esoteric
sciences. Philo Judeaus calls them 'servants of god'...'an esoteric circle of
illuminati, of 'wise men'... They were contemplative Hellenistic
Jews.'" (H.P. Blavatsky) - 316:329

“The Essenes,
according to archaeologist Bargil Pixner, had a major 'camp' or 'quarter' on
Mt.
Sion (Pixner 1976:245-275). Moreover, Richard Mackowski held that the
material evidence on Mt. Sion shows that it 'was not only the mahaneh of the
Essenes during the time of Jesus, but also the birthplace of this extremely
orthodox Jewish sect in Jerusalem' (Mackowski 1980:63 cf. 145).” - 1100

“One noteworthy fact that is
known about the Essenians
is that Gomorrah and Sodom were among the places where they had established
colonies … [T]oo little attention has been paid to the fact that Qumran,
according to an identification formerly suggested by F. de Saulcy, was
Gomorrah. Moreover, according to the evidence of Synesius of Cyrene, Dion
Chrysostome (who lived between A.D. 42 and 125) ‘has also, somewhere, praised
the Essenians, who constitute quite a blessed city established near the Dead
Sea in the middle region of Palestine close to Sodom’." - 230:299

The Prieuré de Sion was the secret society
behind the creation of the Knights Templar and the Crusades.

"Powerful
Roman families selected popes who would do their bidding...

"Priories and bishoprics were usually controlled by powerful local families,
who placed their younger sons, or illegitimate sons, into holy offices. The
income from these churches and other benefices was diverted to the noble
families controlling them, much as we learned to be the case in Scotland."
1141

"The 'Prieuré documents' imply that...an abbey existed
by 1100 and housed an order of the...name [Ordre de Sion] which may have been
formed earlier... ...[A]t Orval, not far from Stenay, where Dagobert II had
been assassinated some five hundred years earlier...an abbey was established
to house the monks... By 1108 they had mysteriously disappeared... Orval, by
1131, had become one of the fiefs owned by Saint
Bernard.

"Before their departure from Orval, however, the
Calabrian monks may have left a crucial mark on Western history. According to
Gerard de Sede, at least, they included the man subsequently known as Peter
the Hermit. If this is so, it would be extremely significant, for Peter the
Hermit is often believed to have been Godfroi de Bouillon's personal tutor...
In 1095, along with Pope Urban II, Peter made himself known throughout
Christendom by charismatically preaching the need for a crusade--a holy war
that would reclaim Christ's sepulchre and the Holy Land from the Muslim
infidel. Today, Peter the Hermit is regarded as one of the chief instigators
of the 'Crusades.'

"...mysterious Abbey
of Orval...[is] where our research suggested the Prieuré de Sion may have
had its inception." - 31:113,170

"There was a secret order behind the Knights
Templars, which created the Templars as its military and administrative
arm. This order, which has functioned under a variety of names, is most
frequently known as the Prieuré de Sion. ...Although the Knights Templar were
destroyed and dissolved between 1307 and 1314, the Prieuré de Sion remained
unscathed." - 31:106-7

The Prieuré de Sion, in concert with the Knights of
Malta, are leaders of global politics, finance, religion and intelligence.

"The French press, in a brief article on M. Plantard's
election as Grand Master in 1981 had stated that 'the 121 high dignitaries of
the Prieuré de Sion are all eminences grises of high finance and
international political or philosophical organisations.' Something very
similar could clearly be said about the Knights of Malta. By virtue of their
intrinsic natures, both Orders could be expected to function in much the same
sphere, the twilight underworld where politics, finance, religion and the work
of various intelligence organizations converge." - 232:362

"Prominent French, Scottish and English knights,
as well as several of their princes and kings, fought in the Crusades and
established fiefdoms throughout the lands we think of as the Levant, or Middle
East, stretching from Sicily, Tripoli and Malta to Cypress, Rhodes, Antioch,
Tyre and Macedonia. Called Outremer (“Beyond the Sea”), the
Norman-French-Scottish domain was ruled by free-standing noblemen and
controlled militarily by distinctive “Christian” fighting forces that included
the Knights of the Temple of Solomon, or Templars, and the Knights of the
Hospital of St. John, or Hospitalers. Although both these military orders
began as Christian-soldiered militias, they soon evolved into enormous,
profit-making enterprises that owned vast tracts of land, castles, priories,
burgs, mills and manufactories, banks, and shipping lanes throughout Europe
and the Middle East (Selwood 1999). The persons who managed the vast wealth
from this trading empire were not themselves knights, but rather seneschals
(retainers), and though the individual knights themselves may have taken
Christian vows of chastity or poverty, no such requirements were placed upon
the majority of those associated with the order — its estate managers,
clerical employees and administrators...

"Men from several Scottish (and
English and French) Jewish families enlisted in the ranks of the Knights
Templar, including Bruces, Douglases and Sinclairs. Countless others were
involved in the administration of the Templar wealth."
- 1141

The primary goal of the Prieuré de Sion was, and is, to
reestablish the Merovingian bloodline as the royalty of Europe.

"During this crusading era, various knightly Orders
merged, including the Ordre de Sion (Order of Sion) [aka Prieuré de
Sion] founded by Godefroi de Bouillon in 1099...

"From 1188, the Order of Sion had been restructured,
and evolved to pursue a more specific course of loyalty to the Merovingian
lineage of France. The Templars, on the other hand, were especially
concerned with supporting the emergent Stewart succession. In practice, the
two operated in close association because they were essentially concerned with
the same root bloodline." - 29:256,323

The Merovingians
plan to depose the House of Windsor in order to restore the Merovingian
bloodline in Great Britain.

"The moving speech given by
Diana's brother, Charles, Earl Spencer, held back nothing in reminding the
royal 'firm' that William and Harry were only half Mountbatten-Windsor, and
that the Spencer family saw it as their duty to uphold and perpetuate the
socially motivated upbringing begun by the princes' mother... She will
be remembered just as she had wished - as the people's own 'Queen of
Hearts', and her romantic island repose will, no doubt, add to the mystique.
Indeed, the nation has, in Diana, a truly compassionate 'Lady of the Lake' -
a devoted and humanitarian Grail Queen.

"Prince William will indeed
succeed to the Crown of St Edward, but not simply because of he is his
father's heir; he will succeed in the hearts and minds of the populace
because he is his mother's son. Young Prince Harry, with his Spencer
characteristics, will doubtless add to the popularity of a house which, in
time to come, might well feel justified in dropping the Germanic
Mountbatten-Windsor name for that of Spencer, thereby honoring the English
people in memory of Diana Frances. It must be remembered that their father,
Prince Charles, holds his present heirship in his own mother's line, not in
the line of his father. Just as the people of Scotland look forward to a
brighter future in the 21st century, so too are the people of England and
Wales due for a new light to shine, and the House of
Hanover-Saxe-Coburg-Windsor's light is fading fast." (Prince
Michael Stewart) - 92:329

“Last year [1999] 140 000 people (limited to 2 500
visitors a day in July and August) called to pay tribute to Diana who is
buried on an island in the middle of a lake on the [Spencer] estate. 'There
is an old temple near the lake and this has become a focal point for people
to leave their flowers and tributes,' said [Charles, Earl] Spencer.” - 730

“Lake Nemi is an ancient
lake that is located east of Rome in the Alban Hills where the temple of
Diana once stood, surrounded by her sacred
grove.... A stream flowed into Lake Nemi from a sacred grotto nearby the
temple. This stream was associated with the water nymph named Egeria. Both
Egeria and Diana are early forms in the Lady of the Lake mythos.”
- 731

"To the Priory of Sion (the secret, occult
organization dedicated to preserving the Merovingian Bloodline), the Bear
was an animal of the Goddess
Diana...' ...the Merovingian kings, from their founder Merovee to
Clovis...were 'pagan kings of the cult of Diana'." -571

To overthrow the House of Windsor, a
smear campaign is being conducted to portray Prince Charles, heir apparent
to the British throne, as the Antichrist.

"The AntiChrist and a Cup
of Tea uniquely offers HARD-EVIDENCE concerning the identity of the
antichrist of Bible prophecy, who appears to be PRINCE CHARLES OF
WALES. Prince Charles, unlike all previous candidates, fulfills the
following scriptural criteria: His name calculates to 666 in both English
and Hebrew; the symbols in his heraldic achievement or coat of arms are
identical to those of the 'first beast' of Revelation 13; he claims descent
from David, Jesus, and Mohammed, but is most likely from the tribe of Dan
and Odin (Satan); he literally serves the red dragon (Satan), which was
central to his 1969 investiture as the Prince of Wales; he wants to be the
King of Europe; he heads the United World Colleges; he steers the
environmental ethics and business agendas of over 100 of the world's largest
multinational corporations; he is credited for the success of the Rio Earth
Summit and thus the Kyoto Protocol, and he has spearheaded the push for
enforceable environmentalism worldwide; he initiated the Global Security
Programme and its lecture series, for which Mikhail Gorbachev has become a
spokesperson; he has partnered with the United Nations and the World Bank;
he appears to be responsible for the initiation of the current Mideast
'peace process', and has been directly involved since Yitzhak Rabin's
funeral; he has taken a traceable bio-chip implant; and his media exposure
has exceeded that of every other man in history. The book also details
the British Monarchy's centuries-long conspiracy for a 'New World Order'
using the Order of the Garter, which is the core leadership of the Priory of
Sion, the Knights Templar, the Rosicrucians, English and French Freemasonry,
and the Illuminati, as well as the overarching 'Committee of 300.'
This work is must reading for all who are interested in the modern
fulfillment of Bible prophecy." - 728

"Even Britain's late Sir Iain Moncrieffe,
her Majesty's Albany Herald of Arms, made a point in 1982 of stating with
regard to Charles, the prevailing Prince of Wales, that 'Today, perhaps the
most famous of HRH Romanian relations is Prince Vlad Dracula the Impaler, an
ancestral uncle who took the surname of Dracula because his father Prince
Vlad Dracul was proud to be a Knight of the Dragon.'" (Laurence
Gardner) - 722:79

The Grand Masters of the Prieuré de Sion changed their names to obscure their Jewish
origins.

"Not all members of the Prieuré de Sion, [Jean
Luc Chaumeil] said, were Jewish. This implication of this apparent non
sequitor is obvious -- that some members of the order, if not indeed many, are
Jewish." - 31:223

"The Prieuré de
Sion - the Elders of Sion also relates to the Rothschilds
who are reported to serve on a Jewish council of Elders of Sion... For
instance, Armstrong, the Rothschild Trust, p. 196, 'That is the present
objective of Jeroboam Rothschild and his secret Elders of Zion.'" - 77:152,163

"Russell Barnes...wrote: 'Some years ago I was
in contact with the author Sinclair Traill... He wore a sturdy gold
ring...[with] an unusual motif which at first glance appeared to be a 'column'.
He said the ring and its motif were associated historically with his
Sinclair [St. Clair] forbearers, a name preserved by use as his Christian
name." - 96:84

The Prieuré de Sion was
created and has been directed by individuals related to the Saint-Claire/Rothschild
bloodline.

"According to the three Jewish authors of Dope
Inc. the B'nai B'rith was a spinoff of the Order of Zion (Sion) and was
organized as a covert 'intelligence front' for the House of Rothschild." -
77:153

"Through marriage the family of Marie Levis
St. Claire was connected to the de Gisors, the family from which the first and
third grand masters of the Prieuré de Sion came. Without question, Prieuré de
Sion was created and run by individuals related to the St. Claires. The third
grand master was in charge in the year that the Templars were ordered arrested
and the treasure fleet set sail for Scotland to escape the agents of the
French king. Did one St. Claire (from France) correspond with another Sinclair
(from Scotland) for this express purpose? Most likely the answer is
yes." - 281:178

"Their domain [the Sinclair family--Scottish
branch of the Norman Saint-Clair Gisors family] at Rosslyn was only a few
miles from the former Scottish headquarters of the Knights
Templar, and the chapel at Rosslyn--built between 1446 and 1486--has long
been associated with both Freemasonry and the Rose-Croix. In a charter
believed to date from 1601, moreover, the Sinclairs are recognized as
'hereditary' grand masters of Scottish Masonry.' This is the earliest
specifically Masonic document on record. According to Masonic sources,
however, the hereditary grand mastership was conferred on the Sinclairs by
James II, who ruled between 1437 and 1460--the age of René d'Anjou." - 31:183

"In the Dossiers secrets the following
individuals are listed as successive grand masters of the Prieuré de Sion--or,
to use the official term, Nautonnier, an old French word that means
'navigator'...

The Prieuré
de Sion is no mere secret society in France. Its power and influence
“extend...into the world of international high finance.”

“A curious article on the Priory of Sion appeared in the Belgian weekly
Bonne Soirée on August 14, 1980;... This said that, since Cocteau’s death in
1963, leadership of the Priory had resided with a triumvirate of Plantard,
Gaylord Freeman, and Antonio Merzagora.

Beyond France

“Plantard’s two companions in the triumvirate named in Bonne Soirée — later
confirmed to Baigent, Leigh, and Lincoln by Plantard himself— for the first
time extended the story beyond France and also into the world of international
high finance. Presumably Antonio Merzagora was the Italian banker, an
associate of the eminent industrialist Agostino Rocca (1895– 1978, who was
credited with creating the Italian steel industry in the 1930s and was head of
the nationalized steel industry during the Second World War). But the alleged
involvement of Gaylord Freeman (1910–1991) implied that the Priory’s influence
extended even further afield. An extremely important and influential American
banker and financier, he was most notably associated with the First
National Bank of Chicago, of which he was Chairman between 1969 and 1975
(also playing a key role in establishing its famed art collection). Freeman
was also an adviser on the economy to the U.S. government, for example
chairing a presidential task force on inflation during the Carter
administration. 33...

“The “official” line changed again in 1989, when Vaincre stated that the Grand
Master between 1963 and 1981 had been
John E. Drick (1911– 1982) —
another prominent U.S. banker associated with the First National Bank of
Chicago.” (The
Sion Revelation, pp. 258-260).

"The name Saint-Clair is derived from the Latin
Sanctus Clarus, meaning 'Holy Light'." - 29:297

"Clairvoyance. The faulty of seeing
with the inner eye or spiritual sight... Real clairvoyance means the faculty
of seeing through the densest matter (the latter disappearing at the will and
before the spiritual eye of the Seer),
and irrespective of time (past, present and future) or distance." - 316:85

TRIBULATION / FIRST
3.5 YEARS

The apostate Church will be manifested
after the Rapture and will enter the Tribulation period.

And unto the angel of the church
of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true
witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that
thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because
thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of
nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and
blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that
thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and
that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes
with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten:
be zealous therefore, and repent. - Rev. 3:14-19

The false Gospel in the Stars
teaching will be heavily promoted to facilitate apostates' acceptance of the
Antichrist.

The Merovingians will depose the House of Windsor in
order to restore the Merovingian bloodline in Great Britain.

"Just as the people of Scotland look forward to a
brighter future in the 21st century, so too are the people of England and
Wales due for a new light to shine, and the House of
Hanover-Saxe-Coburg-Windsor's light is fading fast." (Prince
Michael Stewart) - 92:329

GREAT TRIBULATION / GOLDEN AGE

The Antichrist will be an apostate Jew.

"And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel,
and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and
they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? And God
said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the
children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. And God said moreover unto
Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God of
your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my
memorial unto all generations. Go, and gather the elders of Israel together,
and say unto them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham,
of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you,
and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:" - Exod. 3:13-16
"Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of
women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all." - Dan.
11:37

"And I Daniel fainted, and was
sick certain days;...and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood
it." - Dan. 8:37

The Antichrist will return to Earth in a UFO
with other reincarnated Merovingians to produce a new race of god-men like the
Nephilim.

"...Dr. Carl Jung believed, that these UFO sightings
are a product of our unconscious veiling of an ancient human experience.
Enough said. This 'bringing
to earth' of the Sangraal by UFO's is the modern day equivalent of the
Nephilim, the Outer Ones, or the Elohim earthing 'knowledge' and siring a new
race of 'kingly' beings for this world. Kingly i.e., the Merovingians."
-571

The Antichrist will be manifested as the
man of sin/son of perdition when he sits in the Temple proclaiming himself to
be God.

...and that man of sin be
revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all
that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the
temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. - II Thes. 2:3,4

How art thou fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground,
which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will
ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit
also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will
ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. - Is.
14:12-14

PROJECTION

And I stood upon the sand of the
sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns,
and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And
the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the
feet of a BEAR, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave
him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads
as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the
world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave
power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is
like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given
unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given
unto him to continue forty and two months. - Rev. 13:1-5

Grand Master of the Prieuré de Sion and
logical candidate for Antichrist.

THOMAS PLANTARD DE SAINT-CLAIR

The Grand Master of the Priory of Sion from
1963 until 1984 and possibly 1988, was Pierre Plantard de Saint-Claire.
The (grand?)son of Pierre Plantard de Saint-Claire, Thomas, became the Grand
Master in 1989 and is therefore considered the most likely candidate in the
Merovingian lineage to ascend the throne of Jerusalem as world ruler. The
prominence of the Sinclair family is evident in the Labyrinth of the
Grail, a synopsis of which shows the Sinclair's historic and esoteric
leadership of the Merovingian bloodline. There is a high probability
that the Antichrist will come from this bloodline. Alisdair Sinclair and
William Cooper may have been eliminated as hereditary
competitor of Thomas Plantard de Saint-Clair.

The Grand Master of the Prieuré de Sion
from 1963-1984, and possibly 1988, was Pierre Plantard de
Saint-Clair.

"From 1918 to 1963, Jean Cocteau was Grand
Master [of the Prieuré de Sion]... Following the unification of various powers
into a secret NWO government in 1954, the [Prieuré de Sion] had a major policy
dispute. In 1963 with Cocteau's death, Gaylord Freeman, helped by Antonio
Merzagora and Pierre Plantard de Saint-Claire, governed the P.d.S. In 1981
Pierre Plantard took over as Grand Master." - 77:81

In 1989, Thomas Plantard de Saint-Clair succeeded
his (grand)father as Grand Master of the Prieuré de Sion.

Vaincre No. 3, September 1989, page 1

THOMAS PLANTARD de SAINT CLAIR

becomes Grandmaster of the PRIORY OF
SION

By virtue of Article XIV OF THE
CONSTITUTIONS OF THE PRIORY OF SION: "their titles shall fall as of
right to one of their children to be designated by them without
consideration of sex."

By virtue of article XVI "the various
duties and titles of Grandmaster of the Priory of Sion shall be
transmissible to their successor according to the same
prerogatives."

By act dated 6 JULY 1989, Pierre
PLANTARD de SAINT-CLAIR, the present Grandmaster, informed the 121
Masters that, in view of the favourable response of 107 votes in
favour, 5 abstentions and 9 votes against accepting the proposed
succession of title and prerogative, ratification had been made on 6
AUGUST 1989 in PARIS, at 10 o'clock solar time, and that THOMAS
PLANTARD de SAINT CLAIR had been proclaimed Grandmaster. Information
has been sent to all members of the ORDER. - 836:1

"Like Robert Boyle, Charles Radclyffe and Charles de
Lorraine, Maximilian [de Lorraine] appears to reflect a certain pattern in the
list of Sion's alleged grand masters -- a pattern that in fact extends back to
the Middle Ages. Like Boyle, Radclyffe and his own uncle, Maximilian was
a youngest son. The list of alleged grand masters includes a number of
younger or youngest sons -- many of whom appear in lieu of more famous elder
brothers.

"'Call it rather the wedding
dowry of the sometimes holy and sometimes unholy alliance of Church and State
that has for almost 2000 years been the backbone of European history. Behind
the scenes, despite the rise of apparently independent nations, despite the so
called freedoms ushered in by the French Revolution, the unity of the Holy
Roman Empire has remained a significant centre of power.'
"'Church and State. That seems to account for two
groups'... 'Of course, only a select few on each side have been trusted with
the secret, and not all of them have known the whole of it. On the Church
side, as well as Saint Ambrose, one can mention Pope Clement IX, Saint Vincent
de Paul, Saint John Bosco, Father Louis Fouquet, Saint
Bernard and several others whose names are already in the literature.
"'On the civil side we have such figures as the
Merovingian kings, young Thomas Plantard de Saint-Clair, once he gets a
bit older, Victor
Hugo and the various Éminences grises detailed in the famous papers of the
Priory of Sion. "These two groups have survived
together in one way or another since the Beginning and, despite the occasional
assassination, conspiracy or even war that one of them has found it necessary
to get involved in from time to time down the centuries, in order to keep
things in the family, as it were, and also to prevent treasures needed for
purposes of ritual
magic and alchemy
being diverted to ephemeral, temporising and merely pragmatic ends, it is, I
think, pretty safe to claim that, on the whole, the alliance has worked
remarkably well." - 413

Plantard means "branch" and therefore
Scripture will be falsely interpreted to validate a 'Plantard' as the false messiah.

For he shall grow up before him
as a tender PLANT, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor
comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should
desire him. Is. 53:2

"And I will raise up for them a
PLANT of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land,
neither bear the shame of the heathen any more." Ezekiel 34:29

And speak unto him,
saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is
The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the
temple of the LORD: - Zech. 6:12

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I
will raise unto David a righteous BRANCH, and a King shall reign and prosper,
and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall
be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall
be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. - Jer. 23:5,6

In that day shall the BRANCH of the LORD be
beautiful and glorious... - Is. 4:2

But thou art cast out of thy grave like an
abominable BRANCH... - Is. 14:19

"The Christmas
tree now so common among us, was equally common in Pagan Rome and Pagan Egypt.
In Egypt that tree was the palm tree; in Rome it was the fir; the palm-tree
denoting the Pagan Messiah, as Baal-Tamar, the fir referring to him as
Baal-Berith. The mother of Adonis, the Sun-God and great mediatorial divinity,
was mystically said to have been changed into a tree, and when in that state
to have brought forth her divine son. If the mother was a tree, the son must
have been recognised as the 'Man the branch.' And this entirely
accounts for the putting of the Yule Log into the fire on Christmas-eve, and
the appearance of the Christmas-tree the next morning. As Zero-Ashta, 'The
seed of the woman,' which name also signified Ignigena, or 'born of the
fire,' he has to enter into the fire on 'Mother-night,' that he may be born
the next day out of it, as the 'Branch of God,' or the Tree that brings
all divine gifts to men." - 156:97

"Pergamenian
coins illustrate the importance which the community attached to this cult [of
Asklepios]. Caracalla is shown on one coin, saluting a serpent
twined around a bending sapling." - 621:636-37

Saint Clair represents "Dayspring" and
Plantard represents "Branch."

"Through the tender mercy of
our God, With which the Dayspring from on high has visited us; To give light
to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into
the way of peace." - Luke 1:78-79 (NKJV)

A footnote in the NKJV misleads readers
that the Greek word for Dayspring and Branch/Sprout are the same. Does not
identify the Septuagint as underlying Greek text.

"Dayspring is a reference to the
coming of Messiah (see Num. 24:17; Mal. 4:2). This Greek word was also used
to translate the Hebrew word for 'branch' or 'sprout,' a concept with
messianic overtones. (See Is. 11:1-10; Jer. 23:5; 33:15; Zech. 3:8; and
6:12). To give light...to guide our feet: as the Dayspring or the
'Rising Sun,' the Messiah will provide the light of truth and forgiveness to
those blinded by the darkness of their sins." (NKJV ff.) -
1121:1689

"And speak unto him, saying,
Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The
BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple
of the LORD:" - Zech. 6:12 (KJV)

Scripture will be misused to validate one
of the Saint-Clair ('Holy Light') bloodline as the 'King of Glory' in the Holy
Place (Psalm 24).

"...The man who would lead [the Qumranians]
at the 'End of the Age', the Davidic Messiah, had such titles as 'Mighty Man',
'Man of Glory', 'Prince of Light'... God, however, will save his people
by the hands of two messianic figures who arise at the end of time; one from
'Branch of David', and the other 'The Interpreter of the Law'."
- 162:201

The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness
thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon
the seas, and established it upon the floods. Who shall ascend into the hill
of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?... Who is this King
of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your
heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of
glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he
is the King of glory. - Psalm 24:8-10

The Antichrist must be a descendant of
both of the direct bloodlines from their founder, Merovee.

"Only two direct lines of Merovingians remain.
Their family names are Plantard and Saint-Clair. Both families live in hiding,
probably protected by the Priory."(The Da Vinci Code) - 935:260

It is probable that Thomas Plantard, the
(grand)son of Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair, became the 'Grail King' around
the turn of the Millennium.

"At the end of this century the Order
of the Knights Templar will re-emerge to change the whole existing social
order. This will take place in the period immediately following the coming
world catastrophies, which will commence in 1982 and continue in three
terrible waves of destruction up to the year 2001 on an apocalyptic scale.
During the struggle to rebuild the civilized world, the anti-Christ and the
great dictator will attempt to seize world power. Their adversaries will be
the reborn Templars and souls they shall choose to join them in rebuilding a
new world order in which the freedom of the individual spirit will find its
true place. Throughout this period, that mighty spirit behind the figure of
Parzival will be their heroic and beloved leader." - 126:143-144

Timeline of Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair (late
Grand Master of the Prieuré de Sion)

"On January 22, 1981, a short article appeared in the
French press... 'A veritable secret society of 121 dignitaries, the Prieuré de
Sion...convened its Convent at Blois on 17
January 1981... As a result of this Convent at Blois, Pierre Plantard de
Saint-Clair was elected grand master of the Order...'" - 31:214

"Vaincre is now [1998] the title of the
Priory's internal bulletin, which Pierre de Saint-Clair edits with his son
Thomas." - 242:37

"...Percival becomes the king of the Grail
when the planet Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and Mercury get together." - 127:48

"...5 May of the year 2000... a date when for
the first time in 6,000 years all the planets of our solar system will be
arrayed in practically a straight line across space," - 127:53

"17 June 2000... His son, Thomas Plantard,
announced the death of his father, Pierre Plantard, to me." - 361

Significance of 17 January to the
Merovingian bloodline

It is claimed the last Merovingian king of
France, Sigebert IV (676-758), known as the 'Plant-Ard', escaped
assassination and took refuge at Rennes-le-Chateau in Razès. His
descendant, Sigebert VI, was known as 'Ursus.'

"...Dagobert II climbed on the throne but he was
assassinated in 679 as well as his son Sigebert IV according to the official
history...

"The Merovingian dynasty continued formally with
Thierry IV and Childéric III who was removed in 751 and this was the end of
the dynasty. According to the parchment found by Saunière, and this could be
true according to some historians, Sigebert IV escaped and arrived in the
Razes on the 17 of January 681 where he took refuge with his grand
father. Dagobert II had as a second wife Gisèle, the daughter of Béra
II the count of Razès. The Merovingian line included, after Sigebert IV
(676-758) also known as the 'Plant-Ard' - from whom Mr Plantard took
his name!-: Sigebert V (695-768), Bera III (715-771), Guillemon, Bera IV
(755-836), Bera V (794-860), Hildéric I and finally Sigebert VI known as 'Ursus'. From this lineage came the Blanchefort family who gave three
centuries later a Templar Grand Master, Bertrand de Blanchefort... According
to the parchment found by Saunière the lineage did not stop with Sigebert VI
but continued up to this date although nobody claimed the French throne." -
856

Convents of the Prieuré de Sion for selection of
the Grand Master are always held on 17 January, the month of the god
Janus. Janus may mean 'John/Jean', the esoteric name of the Grand
Masters.

"...Janus was really the oak-god Dianus who was
incarnate in the King of Rome..." - 406:69

"Janus is one of the most important Roman gods. His
two faces illustrate not only his role as deity of beginnings, looking to
past and future, but his essential duality as the original
bisexual
chaos and the form which emerged from it. Diana/Jana and Saturn are
especially associated with him. He may have been Gallicized into
Jean
(John), one of the companions to the Black Virgin." -
272:7

January 17 on the Gregorian Calendar
corresponds to 17 Abib, the
17th day of the first month on the Hebrew calendar, which became 17
Nisan after the Babylonian captivity.

On 17
Abib the Israelites crossed the Red Sea.

"And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the
land of Egypt saying,This month shall be unto you the beginning of
months: it shall be the first month of the year to you... And it came to
pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel
out of the land of Egypt by their armies... And the LORD hardened the
heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of
Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand. But the
Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh,
and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea,
beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon. And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the
children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians
marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of
Israel cried out unto the LORD... 26 And the LORD said unto Moses,
Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon
the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. And Moses
stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his
strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it;
and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea." (Exodus
12:1-2-14:8-10, 26-27)

17
Abib/Nisan is the Feast of First Fruits

"In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is
the LORD's passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast
of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile
work therein. But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD
seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no
servile work therein. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I
give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a
sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest: And he shall wave
the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the
sabbath the priest shall wave it. And ye shall offer that day when ye wave
the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering
unto the LORD.3 And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of
fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a
sweet savor: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth
part of an hin." (Lev. 23:5-14)

Jesus
Christ rose from the dead on 17 Nisan, the third day after Passover on
14 Nisan

"From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his
disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of
the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised
again the third day." (Matt. 16:21)

"Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus
knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto
the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them
unto the end." (John 13:1)

"But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become
the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man
came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so
in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order:
Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming."
(I Cor. 15:20-23).

The election of Grand Masters of the Prieuré de Sion on January 17 – 17
Nisan on the Hebrew calendar – is a cryptic statement by the Merovingian
Jews of their presumed entitlement to the Messianic birthright.
(See:
24.A New Israel: Zionism)

The Merovingian bloodline
descended from demons.

Merovee, founder of
the Merovingian dynasty, was sired by a 'beast of the sea'--Neptune,
god of the sea and founder of Atlantis.

"Despite the carefully listed genealogies of his time,
the heritage of Meroveus was strangely obscured in the monastic
annals. Although the rightful son of Clodion, he was nonetheless said by the
historian Priscus to have been sired by an arcane sea creature, the
Bistea Neptunis...

"The Sicambrian Franks, from whose female line the Merovingians
emerged were associated with Grecian Arcadia before migrating to the
Rhineland. As we have seen, they called themselves the Newmage --
'People of the New
Covenant', just as the Essenes
of Qumran had once been known. It was the Arcadian legacy that was responsible
for the mysterious sea
beast -- the Bistea Neptunis-- as symbolically defined in
the Merovingian ancestry. The relevant sea-lord was King Pallas, a god of old
Arcadia... The immortal sea-lord was said to be 'ever-incarnate in a dynasty
of ancient kings'
whose symbol was a fish - as was the traditional symbol of Jesus." - 29:166,175

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up
out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten
crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw
was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and
his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his
seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to
death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the
beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and
they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is
able to make war with him? - Rev. 13:1-4

These mysterious water
creatures were the Nephilim -- the demonically-bred race of giants which God
destroyed in the Flood.

And it came to pass, when men began to
multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the
sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took
them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not
always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall
be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those
days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of
men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men
which were of old, men of renown. And GOD saw that the wickedness of
man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the
thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the
LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And
the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the
earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air;
for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of
the LORD. - Gen. 6:1-4

"The Nephilim were banished to the center
of the earth for disobeying God by mating with the daughters of men and
teaching them the 'forbidden' arts. In this publication the Nephilim have been
identified as the Fathers of the Merovingians...

"...the Merovingian race was sired by a
water beast known as the Quinotaur. This Quinotaur took the form of a
sea-bull. Crowley's personal seal was of a sea goat. Grant, writing of
Crowley's Seal of the Beast, says: 'The beast is the sea-goat or
amphibious monster identical with Cthulhu, the Quinotaure or Bull of the
Deep.' [Kenneth] Grant writes as a footnote; 'The waters under the earth; home
of the 'ancestors' or subconscious atavisms of the race.' Is this a reference
to the race of the Grail?.

"Grant, writing of the cross of the four corners says;
'The intersection of this surface (horizontal and vertical) represent,
therefore, the gateway to another dimension, the waters beneath the earth that
mirror in their uncertain depths the heights of space above the earth wherein
glow the stars, the unborn or un-fleshed souls of future states of
consciousness, or simply life beyond earth. The mortal world spreads east and
west and the land of le invisibles lies above and below it in the
vertical dimensions of height and depths, north and south, Horus and
Set.' This ties in with the Book of Enoch and the Hosts above and the
fallen, banished Nephilim below. This also reminds us of the twins or brother
gods in Sumeria called Enki and Enlil. Enki, the infernal of the two,
represents Set and Enlil represents Horus (although in this context Enlil
would also be Osiris.) In ancient mythologies names and stories can be
switched and one god can also be an attribute of another. It's best to keep
this in mind when studying this type of material. Set kills Osiris as Enki
kills Enlil. As it has been shown in another article of this publication, Enki
is associated with Cain, and Cain was a very bad boy. Enki was an infernal god
that has been identified, in this publication, as siring the Merovingian race.

"...Writing of the Great Old Ones or Elder Gods from
Lovecraftian lore, Grant says, 'The letter M, the key vibration of the plane
of the Elder Gods, is represented mythologically as the sea-goat, Makaru or as
the crocodile, the beast of the waters.' Couldn't Makaru be a form of Merovee
who spawned the Merovingians, and was sired himself from a sea-bull?
Tracy Twyman has already written of the connections between Lovecraft's
Necronomicon Mythos and the Merovingians in her article
Dead But Dreaming: The Great Old Ones of Lovecraftian Legend Reinterpreted
as Sumerian/Atlantean Kings..." -571

"...Anyone having read The Holy Blood and the Holy
Grail would know that the Templars were Knights pledged to defend the
Merovingian/Grail Bloodline... The Merovingian blood is the blood of kings,
the kings or gods from ancient Sumeria and beyond." -571

Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair is a direct
descendant of the last Merovingian king, Dagobert II.

"The [Roman]
Church had a hand in the assassination of Dagobert II, and Childeric III
was deposed by Pepin III, the first of the Carolingian dynasty. The removal of
the Merovingians was culminated with the coronation of Charles the Great,
Carolus Magnus, or Charlemagne, who in 800 became the Holy Roman Emperor, thus
betraying the pact made with the Merovingian bloodline, ending their dynasty.
But the bloodline continued in the personage of Sigisbert IV (son of Dagobert
II), who fled southward, taking on the surname 'Plant-Ard' (eventually
'Plantard'), and the title of the Count of Razes." - 414

"January
17th AD 681 was the date Sigisbert IV was reputed to have arrived at
Rennes-le-Chateau. He is the mysterious link in the Merovingian line who, as
son of Dagobert II, would have been his heir. As his life was in danger he was
apparently concealed and from him came a line of kings who have never ruled."
- 412

"...Although it has been believed that
Sigisbert IV was murdered along with his father, it is stated in the Prieuré
documents that he was in fact taken to safety by his sister, south to the land
of his mother, the Visigoth princess. He is said to have later adopted the
title Duke of Razes and Count of Rhedae, Rhedae being the old name for
Renne-le-Chateau. It appears that he also adopted the surname or nickname:
Plant-Ard, which later became Plantard, his descendants going under
this name." - 258:31-32

"According to the 'Prieuré documents' the lords of
Anjou-Plantagenet family were thus allied to the Merovingian bloodline.
And the name of Plantagenet may even have been intended to echo 'Plant-ard'
or Plantard.'" - 31:302

"A
veritable secret society of 121 dignitaries, the Prieuré de Sion, founded by
Godfroi de Bouillon in Jerusalem in 1099, has numbered among its Grand Masters
Leonardo da Vinci, Victor Hugo and Jean Cocteau. This Order convened its
Convent at Blois on 17
January 1981... As a result of this recent Convent at Blois, Pierre
Plantard de Saint-Claire was elected grand master of the Order... This
choice of grand master marks a decisive step in the evolution of the Order's
conception and spirit in relation to the world; for the 121 dignitaries of the
Prieuré de Sion are all éminences grises of high
finance and of international political or philosophical
societies; and Pierre Plantard is the direct descendant, through Dagobert
II, of the Merovingian kings. His descent has been proved legally by the
parchments of Queen Blanche of Castile, discovered by the Abbe Sauniére in the
church at Rennes-le-Château (Aude) in 1891. These documents were sold by the
priest's niece in 1965 to Captain Roland Stanmore and Sir Thomas Frazer, and
were deposited in a safe-deposit box of Lloyds Bank Europe Limited of London."
- 31:214-15

"Only two direct lines of Merovingians remain. Their
family names are Plantard and Saint-Clair. Both families live in
hiding, probably protected by the Priory."(The Da Vinci Code) - 935:260

The PLANTARD FAMILY CREST
esoterically communicates the demonic origins of the Merovingian
bloodline.

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and
saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon
his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast
which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a BEAR,
and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and
his seat, and great authority. - Rev. 13:1-2

In his book
Outer Gateways Kenneth Grant writes:

“In The Holy
Blood and The Holy Grail, the authors reproduce the family crest
of Clan Plantard, the contemporary representative of which was,
until recently, the Grand Master of the Prieuré de Sion, an Order which,
according to [Henry] Lincoln, dominated the Order
of the Knights Templar and various other highly influential
institutions which, at certain periods of history, included the Vatican.
The crest which supplies the key to the [Typhonian/
Draconian] Current represented by the Merovingian bloodline and
the Order of Sion, comprises the symbols of the Typhonian line of
descent: the two bears, eleven bees, and the fleur de lys. The
motto incorporated in the crest reads 'et in Arcadia ego.'
Arcadia=127, which is the number of the Egyptian Goddess Heqt who was
typified by the 'lower part of the back, or haunch.'

“The two bears denote the Mother (Typhon) and
her son (Set) [Satan]. The image
of the bee pictorializes the buzzing or humming vibration peculiar to
the Outer Ones, or their vehicles. Eleven is the number of Those who are
Without, or beyond, the Tree of Life, thus identifying the Outer Ones.'
The Outer Ones are also the Qliphoth or the Ancient Ones of Lovecraftian
lore. That the Typhonian Tradition and the Merovingian Tradition share
the same important symbols seems to be much more then a mere
coincidence.” -571

"ET IN
ARCADIA EGO" is an esoteric reference to Arcadia, a Greek city which
symbolizes the Rosicrucian's envisioned Paradise on
earth.

"Arcadia was one of
the primary mystery names given to the state of the world in a Golden Age, and
the whole Arcadian imagery and allegory is that of a Utopia or Paradise on
earth that might be achieved. The world is on the threshold of that
achievement now, according to the way the evolutionary cycles of divine law
work. Jesus Christ and the Buddha prepared us for it in an outstanding way;
Francis Bacon...and the Rosicrucian Brotherhood have inaugurated it. All have
used Arcadian imagery, the meaning of which pierces deep, right to the heart
of all mysteries." - 889:15

The sacred river
Alpheus, which flows from Arcadia to the underworld, represents a demonic
bloodline.

"Arcadia...is frequently denoted by a fountain or a
tombstone, both of which are associated with an underground stream. This
stream is usually equated with the river Alpheus--the central river in the
actual geographical Arcadia in Greece, which flows underground and is said to
surface again at the Fountain of Arethusa in Sicily. From the remotest
antiquity to Coleridge's 'Kubla Khan' the river
Alpheus has been deemed sacred. Its very name derives from the same root
as the Greek word alpha, meaning 'first' or 'source.'...

"...the Plantard family--lineal descendants of Dagobert
II and the Merovingian dynasty. In 1548, the 'Prieuré documents' state, Jean
des Plantard had married Marie de Saint-Clair--thus forging another link
between his family and that of the Saint-Clair/Gisors...

"...the specific phrase in Poussin's painting---'Et in
Arcadia Ego'...appeared in an earlier painting by Poussin, in which the tomb
is surmounted by a skull and does not constitute an edifice of its own, but is
embedded in the side of a cliff. In the foreground of this painting a bearded
water deity reposes in an attitude of brooding moroseness---the river god
Alpheus, lord of the underground stream..." - 31:139-140;177,180-2

In Coleridge's poem, Kubla
Khan, the sacred river Alph descended to the underworld; Typhon is
pictured in the third stanza.

In Xanadu did Kubla
KhanA stately pleasure-dome decree:Where Alph, the sacred
river, ranThrough caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea...

So twice five miles of fertile groundWith
walls and towers were girdled round:And there were gardens bright
with sinuous rills,Where blossomed many an incense-bearing
tree;And here were forests ancient as the hills,Enfolding sunny
spots of greenery.

But oh! that deep
romantic chasm which slantedDown the green hill athwart a cedarn
cover!A savage place! as holy and enchantedAs e'er beneath a
waning moon was hauntedBy woman wailing for her demon-lover!

And from this chasm, with
ceaseless turmoil seething,As if this earth in fast thick pants were
breathing,A mighty fountain momently was forced:Amid whose swift
half-intermitted burstHuge fragments vaulted like rebounding
hail,Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail:And 'mid these
dancing rocks at once and everIt flung up momently the sacred
river... - 781

The fleur de lys represents the Tree of Life which
also descends to the netherworld.

"In ancient Egyptian texts...The Tree of Life grew
out of the Sacred Mound, it's branches reaching out and supporting the star
and planet studded sky, while it's roots reached down into the watery abyss of
the Netherworld. The trunk of the Tree of Life represented the World Pillar
or Axis Munde (literally 'Axis of the Mound') around which the heavens
appeared to revolve. The World Pillar was the centre of the
universe. "The Ancient Egyptian symbol for
'plant' meaning 'Tree of Life' was three sacred lotus lilies. They have tree
stems curving to the left as though blown into Life by the breath of Hu, the
Celestial Sphinx. On top of each stem is the Lotus flower which was used in
Ancient Egypt to represent Life and Resurrection. It is from this hieroglyph
that the 'fleur de lis' which is frequently found in Ancient Egyptian Art
traces its origin. The fleur de lis' represents the Tree of Life. The glyph
which denotes the sacred knowledge associated with Hu is also formed by the
three stems of the three sacred lotus lilies...

"In Ancient Egypt the
Netherworld was called the 'Netterworld' meaning the 'World of the gods'. The
gods had their home among the stars." - 903:6

The astrological message conveyed by the Plantard
family crest is that the Plantard bloodline is the royal pedigree of the
demonic kings who ruled Atlantis and will produce the Antichrist.

"In the Typhonian Tradition the Bear is the
constellation of Ursa Major. The stars must be aligned in a specific
way in order for Set [Satan] to be properly invoked. To the Priory of Sion
(the secret, occult organization dedicated to preserving the Merovingian
Bloodline), the Bear was an animal of the Goddess
Diana. According to Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince, the authors of The
Templar Revelation, ' ...the Merovingian kings, from their founder Merovee
to Clovis (who converted to Christianity in 496) were 'pagan kings of the cult
of Diana'.' Picknet and Prince got this information from the Dossiers
Secrets of the Priory of Sion. The bees, which are a recurring symbol of the Merovingians are,
in the Typhonian Tradition, represented frequently as the humming or buzzing
sound that occurs before the appearance of the Great
Old Ones or 'beings' proper to this tradition. Grant writes 'The bee,
beetle, or crab, is therefore the link between the earliest manifestation of
the Typhonion current and its final phases.' Also; '217 is the key number of
[Crowley's]
Book of the Law. 217 is also the number of DBVRH, meaning 'a bee' which is
the specific symbol of Sekhet, whose name means 'a bee.' Sekhet is another
aspect of the god Set. There are eleven bees because eleven is the
number of Magick and of the sephirah on the Tree of Life, called Daath, which
is the 'Gateway' to the backside of the Tree and to the Gods... As for the
fleur de lys, in the Typhonian Tradition it represents the 'kingly man' that
Crowley extols and the inheritor of the Grail Bloodline. In The
Vision and the Voice, Crowley is 'conversing' with his Holy Guardian Angel
Aiwas, who says: 'For I am not appointed to guard thee, but we are of the
blood royal, the guardians of the Treasure-house of Wisdom.' The 'blood
royal,' the Sangraal of the Holy
Grail." -571

"Typhon is...Plutarch
asserts, the distinct 'Evil Principle' or the Satan of the Jews." - 316

"TYPHOEUS was a
monstrous immortal giant who was defeated and imprisoned beneath Mount Aitna
by Zeus. This volcano-daimon
hurled red-hot rocks at the sky and from his mouth boiled forth great storms
of fire... Aitna (Mt Etna), where the rock is alight and kettles of fire boil
up the hot flare of Typhaon’s bed." –Dionysiaca 13.319 - 867

The 'Bear' is a veiled reference to the Grail King
and his sheepfold.

"Associated in esoteric knowledge with th[e] role of
high kingship is the symbol of the North Pole Star - the 'crown of the world -
and the circumpolar constellations. Of these, the Lesser and the Greater Bear
are the most important: the former providing the present North Pole Star.
The 'Bear' is a veil to the real name, which means 'Dove', or 'Sheepfold',
or 'Chariot'. As the Chariot, it is Arthur's vehicle of
manifestation, as also the fiery chariot on which Elijah ascended to
heaven. Hence Arthur is known as 'the Bear'. As the Sheepfold, it is the
heavenly place of peace and enlightenment that Jesus spoke of, to which
the 'sheep' (i.e. initiates) of mankind are led, and from which the
'shepherds' (i.e. the adepts and masters) come from. As the Dove, it is
known as the vehicle of the Holy Spirit, by means of which that Spirit
descends to the earth and governs its kingdom. It is signified by the royal
crown of a High King (i.e. a crown with arches) - a halo of light which
descends upon a truly worthy and anointed (i.e. illuminated) soul,
bestowing full knowledge of Truth. The Great Bear is known as the mother of
the Little Bear, which is her son. The Rampant Bear and Ragged Staff
emblem...depicts just this - the Bear constellation tied to the Pole of the
earth's axis, and dancing around it." - 889:80

The Great Bear and Little Bear stand for
JEHOVAH!

"[Rosicrucian] emblems depict
Jehovah as an eagle with protective wings outstretched: cryptically alluding
to St. John (whose symbol is an eagle), whose name is derived from the same
sacred vowels - I.O.A. - as JIHOVAH.

"I.O.A., as in Iona, also
means 'Dove' - the Holy Ghost that brings divine Light into the world of
material manifestation. Furthermore, as the symbol of the Dove is derived from
the Hebraic word Dôveh,
meaning rest, strength, security,
plenteousness, peace' (which is the description of I.O.A.), and as this
word is directly associated with Dohver, a 'sheepfold', and with
Dôhv, a 'bear', I.O.A. is represented by all these symbols -
eagle, dove, sheepfold, bear. Ursa Major and Ursa Minor are the
celestial signs, or symbols, of I.O.A.; thus the eagle in the emblems,
or Jehovah in the motto, can be translated as the Great or Little Bear,
referring again to Arcadia and the Arcadians, to the Ancient British race..."
- 889:122

The constellations of Great Bear and
Leo the Lion governed Ancient Egypt under the pharaonic dynasties which were
also from this demonic bloodline.

"The sign
of Taurus is taken as representing the initiating impulse that starts the
process of illumination. Taurus the Bull is the great Bestower of Light, who
fertilises the minds of mankind with seeds of light...

"It should be noticed...that the
so-called 'Unification of the Two Lands' in Ancient Egypt, which marked the
start of the first cycle of pharoanic dynasties, began with the commencement
of the astronomical Age of Taurus, c. 3,240 BC... The symbol of the
bull was of particular importance for Egypt throughout its
history...

"...At the time that the pharaonic
civilisation of Ancient Egypt was supposed to have begun, c. 3.240 BC,
the Spring Equinoctial sun arose in the middle of the zodiacal sign of Taurus,
and the May Day festival sun was on the cusp of the signs of Cancer
and Gemini...

"The first and main cycle of the
Egyptian pharaonic civilisation...spanned...more than just the Taurean Age.
These astronomical ages were recognised by the Egyptians, and their
civilisation adapted accordingly, but the cycle of their civilisation was not
governed primarily by such ages. There was something even more significant in
the heavens which governed that particular cycle of the Egyptian civilisation
- the association of two great constellations that have special significance
to each other, one near the north pole and the other in the zodiac. These two
constellations, which determined the whole length and course of the first
cycle of Egyptian pharaonic civilisation, were Ursa Major, the Great Bear, and
Leo, the Lion. ...Leo is also a symbol of the heart, and Ursa Major was
considered by the Egyptians to be the magical 'thigh' (or right foreleg) of
Taurus, the latter symbolising the illumined
mind and referred to as the 'Eye'
of Horus. With this 'thigh of the Eye of Horus' Ptah (the Creator
god signifying the Voice of God) 'opened' the mouths of divine entities and
the souls of the dead." - 889:27

And the beast which I saw was like unto a
leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the
mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great
authority. - Rev. 13:2

In Greek mythology, Arcas was son of the Greek god,
Zeus, and Callisto, the sister of Artemis/Diana. Callisto became the
Great Bear (Ursa Major) constellation and Arcas became the Little Bear (Ursa
Minor) constellation.

"The Sicambrians, ancestors of the Franks, were known
as the 'people of the Bear' for their worship of the bear-goddess Arduina. The
word 'Arcadia' comes from Arkas, patron god of that area of Greece, the son of
the nymph Callisto, sister of the huntress Artemis. Callisto's constellation
is also known to many as Ursa Major, the Great Bear.

"The name 'Arthur'
comes from the Celtic arth, related to 'Ursus' -- namely, 'bear.' In legend,
the Merovingians were said to be descended from the Trojans, and Homer reports
that Troy was founded by a colony of Arcadians.

"The 'Prieure documents' claim that the Arcadians were
descended from Benjamites driven out of Palestine by their fellow Israelites
for idolatry. 'Arcadia' was also known as the source of the River Alphaeus,
the 'underground stream' which figures so prominently in Coleridge's poetry
and in esoteric literature.

"The Merovingians were 'sacred kings' who reigned but
did not rule, leaving the secular governing function to chancellors known as
the Mayors of the Palace. It was one of these Mayors, Pepin the Fat, who
founded the dynasty that came to supplant them -- the Carolingians.

"One of the great Merovingian kings, Clovis, struck a
deal with the newly nascent Roman church. He would subdue their enemies, the
Arian Visigoths and the pagan Lombards, in return for baptism into the faith
and recognition of his right to rule a new Roman empire as 'Novus
Constantinus.'

"Yet one of his descendants, Dagobert II, was murdered
by a lance pierced through his eye (or poison poured in the ear -- accounts
vary) at the orders of Pepin. The church endorsed the assassination, flatly
betrayed its pact with Clovis, and in turn recognized the family of usurpers
as legitimate, culminating with the crowning of Charlemagne as Holy Roman
Emperor. It was thought that the Merovingian lineage was extinguished; in any
case it was excised from the history books.

"But there is some evidence that Dagobert's son,
Siegebert IV, survived and that a Merovingian principality continued to be
ruled in Septimania by Guillem de Gellone, a descendant -- and ancestor -- of
Godfroi de Bouillon.

"If the Prieure documents are to be believed, the
Merovingian lineage persists to this day, largely due to efforts to preserve
it through intermarriage.

Sigisbert IV, known as the 'Plant-Ard' or Sapling, married
"Magdala" at Rennes-le-Chateau in South France.

"...the marriage of Dagobert II and
Giselle of Razes combined the two bloodlines, that of the Holy Family and that
of a pagan divine beast, the Quinotaur. The connection between the
Merovingians and the Holy Family seems to have been hind-shadowed by this
union of the bloodlines, when indeed they would seem from contemporary sources
to be a kind of Pendragon lineage, such as Vortigern and Arthur in Britain. In
Sigisbert IV, it appears the bloodlines of the divine king and the world
teacher combined.

"Given the events of his childhood,
it is natural that Sigsbert, the new Count of Rhedae, kept a low profile. The
only solid evidence of his existence is a charter for a monastery signed in
718 by 'Sigebert, Comte de Rhedae, and his wife Magdala'." - 873
(Book 1, Chap. 9)

Magdala refers to the 'Magdalenian Era' cave
drawings of the Great Goddess in South France. (Magdala = Migdol in
Egypt)

"...Dagobert II climbed on the throne but he was
assassinated in 679 as well as his son Sigebert IV according to the official
history...

"The Merovingian dynasty
continued formally with Thierry IV and Childéric III who was removed in 751
and this was the end of the dynasty. According to the parchment found by
Saunière, and this could be true according to some historians, Sigebert IV
escaped and arrived in the Razes on the 17 of January 681 where he took
refuge with his grand father. Dagobert II had as a second wife Gisèle,
the daughter of BéraII the count of Razès. The Merovingian
line included, after Sigebert IV (676-758) also known as the
'Plant-Ard' - from whom Mr Plantard took his name!-: Sigebert V
(695-768), Bera III (715-771), Guillemon, Bera IV (755-836),
Bera V (794-860), Hildéric I and finally Sigebert VI known as
'Ursus'. From this lineage came the Blanchefort family who gave three
centuries later a Templar Grand Master, Bertrand de Blanchefort... According
to the parchment found by Saunière the lineage did not stop with Sigebert VI
but continued up to this date although nobody claimed the French throne." -

And it came to pass in the days
of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of
Elam, and Tidal king of nations; That these made war with Bera
king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah,
and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is
Zoar... And there went out the king of Sodom,
and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim,
and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle
with them in the vale of Siddim;...

And the vale of Siddim was full of
slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell
there; and they that remained fled to the mountain. And they took all
the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their
way. And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his
goods, and departed. And there came one that had
escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the
Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were
confederate with Abram. And when Abram heard that his brother was taken
captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house,
three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan. And he
divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote
them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of
Damascus. And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his
brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the
people... And the king of Sodom said unto
Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself. And Abram said
to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the
most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, That I will not
take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take
any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram
rich: - Genesis 14

Prince Ursus is believed to have founded the
Prieuré de Sion.

"The 'Prieuré documents' imply that...an abbey
existed by 1100 and housed an order of the...name [Ordre de Sion] which
may have been formed earlier...

"It is known that in 1070, twenty-nine years before
the First Crusade, a specific band of monks from Calabria in southern
Italy arrived in the vicinity of the Ardennes Forrest, part of Godfroi de
Bouillon's domains. According to Gérard de Sède this band of monks was led
by an individual called Ursus--a name the 'Prieuré documents'
consistently associate with the Merovingian bloodline... [A]t Orval, not
far from Stenay, where Dagobert II had been assassinated some five hundred
years earlier...an abbey was established to house the monks... By 1108
they had mysteriously disappeared... Orval, by 1131, had become one of the
fiefs owned by Saint Bernard.

"Before their departure from Orval, however, the
Calabrian monks may have left a crucial mark on Western history. According
to Gérard de Sède, at least, they included the man subsequently known as
Peter the Hermit. If this is so, it would be extremely significant, for
Peter the Hermit is often believed to have been Godfroi de Bouillon's
personal tutor... In 1095, along with Pope Urban II, Peter made himself
known throughout Christendom by charismatically preaching the need for a
crusade--a holy war that would reclaim Christ's sepulchre and the Holy
Land from the Muslim infidel. Today, Peter the Hermit is regarded as one
of the chief instigators of the 'Crusades.'

"...mysterious Abbey of Orval...[is] where our
research suggested the Prieuré de Sion may have had its inception." -31:113,170

Callisto is an astrological allusion to the second
BEAR/BEAST who will rise out of the earth.

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he
had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. - Rev. 13:11

“Arcadia was presided over by shepherds, and
Panwas the great God of Arcadia… arcadia
comes from the word Arcas – the son of Zeus & Callisto. Callisto is the
Great Bear & Arcas is the Little Bear in astronomical terms, and in
Greek Mythology. These stars circumnavigate the North Pole Star –
which esoterically is the symbol of high Kingship... the Bear is a ‘veil’ to
a real name, which means shepherd. It is where the sheep (i.e. initiates)
and shepherds (adepts & Masters) come from...” - 573

“…Phonice is to be identified with Callisto, who was
raped by Zeus, changed into a wild animal by Artemis, and finally into the
constellation of the Greater Bear by Zeus; Artemis, seeing the honor
bestowed on Phonice/Callisto by Zeus, hastened to ‘double’ that honor by
placing a second image of Phonice/Callisto (Ursa Minor) among the stars.” -
570:204

The 'Gospel in the Stars'
('Biblical' astrology) reveals the kingly pedigree of the Great Bear families
in the Merovingian bloodline.

"The first four signs [of the Zodiac]would prefigure the person, work and triumph of the
illustrious Redeemer.

“Virgo, the Virgin, is the
first sign. She has an ear of wheat in one hand and abranch in the other. The wheat is actually seed, and symbolizes
the 'seed of the woman.' The branch is a familiar Old Testament name for the
Messiah. The same woman is seen in the first Decan of this sign, Coma, holding
a baby, the Branch, or the Desire of Nations. The next Decan in this
group is Centaurus, a half-horse, half-man. This could represent the child who
is born, having two natures: being both God and man. The last Constellation in
this Sign is Bootes, or Arcturus, who is the Great Shepherd and
Harvester. Together these images seem to portray, as in the Bible, the virgin
birth of a child who has two natures, and the role of that child when he is
grown as The Great Shepherd, leading His flock...

"The last four signs make the most sense if they stand
for the final consummation of all things. This section would then foretell the
coming judgments on the earth and the glorious outcome of Christ's
reign.

“Taurus, the Bull, is an angry, rushing animal,
which would be a meaningful symbol of God delivering His wrath during the
Tribulation. The Decans are Orion, Eridanus, and Auriga. Orion is the warrior-prince
with a sword on his side and his foot on the hare or serpent. Eridanus, the
torturous River, is the River of Judgment belonging to Orion. Auriga, the
Shepherd, is a picture of a powerful shepherd-king who tenderly holds a
she-goat and two little goats in his left arm. This could be a picture of The
Lord's comfort of the persecuted believers of this coming period of judgment.

“Gemini, The Twins, are two human figures seated
together in loving closeness. This could portray the Marriage
of the Lamb. (See Marriage Supper of the Lamb.) The Decans are Lepus,
Canis Major, and Canis Minor. Lepus is the mad hare, the enemy under Orion's
feet. Canis Major, Sirius, the Great Dog could prefigure the Prince coming in
His glory. Then Canis Minor, Procyon, The Second Dog, would be his princely
following.

“Cancer the Crab is the figure
of a crab, in the act of taking and holding on with its pincers. This could be
a picture of the victorious King
of Kings when He returns, and the Decans, Ursa Minor, the Lesser
Bear, Ursa Major the Greater Bear, and Argo, could picture
His privileged followers. Ursa Minor could also mean the lesser sheepfold, and
stand for the first-born who will be rulers, and Ursa Major could be the
greater sheepfold, the ones born later. Argo, the Ship, brings the weary
travelers home from their toils and travels.

“Leo, the Lion might easily picture Christ in His
final victory over the Devil. All three of the Decans point to the destruction
of the enemy, pictured as a serpent. Hydra, the fleeing Serpent, is about to
be pounced upon by the lion. Crater, the Bowl of Wrath, is placed on the
serpent. And Corvus, the Raven, the bird of doom, is also on the serpent,
devouring his carcass." (Prophecy Central, Gospel in the Stars promo) -

N.B. Recall that “the Bear is a ‘veil’ to
a real name, which means shepherd. It is where the sheep (i.e. initiates) and
shepherds (adepts & Masters) come from...” Also, do not miss the striking
similarities between the false 'gospel in the stars' and the astrological
signs which governed Ancient Egypt during the Pharaonic Age (above).

This New Age astrology is being promoted by
pseudo-Christian leaders to prepare the apostate Church to accept the
Antichrist.

“This theory [The Gospel in the Stars] is
endorsed today by such well known Bible teachers as Chuck Missler (Audio tape: 'The Mazzaroth') and Dr. James
Kennedy of the Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church (Message televised Jan. 7,
1996). It is also accepted by Dr. Henry M Morris in his book, The Long War
Against God (pp. 265-269). Dr. Morris, president of the Institute for Creation
Research.

“Note: This theory of a 'Gospel In
The Stars,' is accepted by many prophecy scholars, but rejected by others.”
(Prophecy Central, Gospel in the Stars promo) - 850

"Startling discoveries related by eminent theologian
Dr. D. James Kennedy prove that God created the Zodiac! God intended the stars
to foretell the future of the world. Discover what Dr. Kennedy calls biblical
astrology or the Gospel in the stars. Reading this book: The Real Meaning
of the Zodiac, just might give you insight into your future." - 872
(back cover)

D. James Kennedy's blasphemous book, The Real
Meaning of the Zodiac, closely parallels ancient Egyptian astrology
(above) but with a Christian spin designed to deliver
undiscerning sheep into the sheepfold of the Great Bear!

"The eleventh sign [of the Zodiac]:
Cancer, The Crab, represents 'The Completion of the Redeemer's Work in
Regard to His own.' This is a picture of the Church possessed and held fast by
Christ... One of the most obvious things about a crab is the two claws by
which it grasps something and holds it firmly. So here we have a picture of
the Church, which is being held as a possession of Christ...

"The meaning is made even clearer as
we consider the three decans [minor signs of the Zodiac]. On a planisphere
Ursa Minor is found near the center of the ecliptic and is called today
The Little Bear. However, this is not the ancient meaning of the
constellations Ursa Minor and Ursa Major. In fact, never did a
bear have such a tail as that! Actually, there is no bear in the planisphere
or zodiacs of the Chaldeans, Persians, Egyptians, or the Indians. Rather, what
we have here is a sheepfold, which is believed to be the original meaning of
Ursa Minor.

"The figure of a sheepfold probably
comes from the fact that one of the brightest stars in Ursa Major is the star
Dubheh, which means a 'Herd of Animals' and is very similar to the word
Dob or the Hebrew Dowb, which means 'The Bear.' This could be
the reason the sign changed over time. But it is really referring to a little
fold and a great fold. God's Church is the little flock--the gathering
together of his people...

"The second decan [in the sign of
Cancer] is Ursa Major, probably the best known of all of the
constellations in the sky. We don't know it as the Great Bear, as the
Greeks called it, but we call it The Big Dipper... Like Ursa
Minor, Ursa Major is neither a dipper or a bear. Rather it is the
greater sheepfold, as pictured in the most ancient planispheres or zodiacs of
the various nations...

"The third and final decan of
Cancer is Argo... Argo means 'The Ship'... Here, of
course, is a picture of the famous and celebrated ship of the Argonauts of
Greek mythology...which apparently has some sort of historical basis... Jason
and a great band of heroes went out on a journey in the ship Argo in
search of the Golden Fleece. It is a picture of Christ Jesus, the Captain of
the well-fought fight, the Captain of the Argonauts' ship... To provide that
lost innocence and righteousness, Christ has to go to the city of
Colchis, and there in a garden He was hung upon a tree guarded by a
serpent. Jason (Christ) alone was able to destroy the serpent and recover that
righteousness, this Golden Fleece, which now had been transformed as having
come from the sheep that was killed. It is a picture of Christ, the Lamb of
God, who gave His life to provide a covering for man's lost righteousness." -
872:109-115

Jason and the Argonauts was a cryptic fable
about the alchemical quest for the Grail--the forbidden fruit of
gnosis.

"The adventures of Jason and
the Argonauts and their search for the Golden Fleece is one of many legends
concerning a heroic quest for a golden apple. The Greek word for sheep
- 'melon'- can also mean apple. 'The Golden Fleece' can be
translated as 'The Golden Apple.' The adventures of Jason
in Colchis are almost identical with that of Hercules in the Hesperides and
also with that of Siegfried. All three fight a serpent dragon. The
prize a golden treasure." - 894

'The connection of the apple tree with
immortality is both ancient and widespread'. --Robert Graves, The White
Goddess'

"Mr. Lewis Spence, The Minor Traditions of
British Mythology, tells us that the common apple tree reached Greece from
the North. It was adopted by the Greek sun-god as especially sacred to him,
and from the Celtic word 'Abal' an apple, the god derived his name Apollo.
Avalon, Avallach and Avalloch are Celtic variations of the same word...
[Rhys, Arthurian Legend]" - 894
